Try out Jekyll

Today, I decided to try jekyll to write my blog. It works out quite well. Faster and simpler than wordpress for writing a static site. And trying something new is very exciting as well.
Let’s review what I have done:
Open terminal: 
  1. Install rvm. \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
  2. Install jekyll gem: gem install jekyll
  3. Create new repository name ninjahoahong.github.io on github
  4. jekyll new ninjahoahong
  5. Add origin remote with git remote add origin ... (… for you to fill your repo)
  6. Commit and push to master of the origin
You can try the same to get a simple page.

Updated in 2017: I am now using blogger to instead of Jekyll and move all the blogs here.

Blogger Post Template

The easiest way to start using a template is that you visit your own typical blog and change to HTML tag and copy the blog to the Settings --> Post, comments, and sharing --> Post Template. Then remove the real text and replace it with the template text. For example, this blog's template is: Reference: https://support.google.com/blogger/answer/154172?visit_id=1-636349071961278260-2951406294&rd=1 - ninjahoahong

How does virtual reality (VR) work?

Today, I learned a basic of how VR works and want to share you my short summary: VR feel can be achieved by using head mounted displays to show different 2D pictures (different angles, depth) to each of a user' eyes to immerse the feeling of staying in a 3D world to the user. The immersion can be increased by increasing the field of view (typical field of view is 100 to 110 degree).  FPS requires at least 60fps for the user to feel okay. Different trackings such as head tracking, motion tracking, and eye tracking decide when to show which pictures provide more complete VR experience. After learning this basic, I am interested in making some experiments with VR application for Android phones and tablets. I will share those learning experience after the experiments.
